Adelita is a top-down, semi-circular, half pi shawl which features three harmonious botanical lace patterns—cloverleaf eyelets, Madeira Leaf and twig lace. The predominance of stockinette stitch which surrounds the lace pictures painted by the yarn overs in all three patterns gives a contemporary flair to the design itself and adds coziness and warmth to the shawl.
Adelita starts at the center back of the neck with a garter tab and is knit down to the bottom edge. Instructions for a slightly larger size are included. While dimensions and yardage are provided for fingering weight, Adelita could effectively be worked in other yarn weights. Solid or tonal yarn is recommended in order to show off the design to its best advantage.
I named this shawl after one of my favorite guitar pieces by Francisco Tárrega, a Spanish composer and guitarist of the Romantic era who is considered the father of classical guitar. His captivating little Adelita was the first of many of Tárrega’s beautifully expressive compositions that I learned to play when I studied classical guitar, and was my dad’s personal favorite. The pattern includes a link to over four hours of Tárrega’s music for your listening pleasure.
The Adelita pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
